Seems to be just mobile, or at least I only check through my phone and iPad.
People will be conversing with me and asking questions, then the room will clear out and stay empty. This happens multiple times each hour, and when I check on my phone or iPad, it'll say I'm in private.
I've tried resetting everything, even going on break and coming back, and will still have the same thing happen over and over. This has been going on for weeks.
I'm even having a problem with people taking me private and then getting booted. I haven't been able to get a single rating the last few times I've been online because the damn site just boots everyone. *sigh*
When this happens, I have been clicking the break button for a few seconds, then click the break button off to go back to free chat. Occasionally might need to do it twice. Give the room time to fill back up. It fixes the problem so far.

GRRRR...my first dedicated day and i cannot for the life of me stay logged in!! Is it me or the site? i see it often has this problem.
Do a speedtest.net test and a pingtest.net test. If either of those scores are poor, it is your internet connection. If you score well on both tests then it is an SM issue.

Lol how yall get all this inside info about producers?
There's a lot of producer love going on in here... Producers rate our shows for their worthiness of future broadcasts.... Show me tits and we go pvt bb! No thanks!
The fact that euro_princess says she has a producer as a regular... I assume she means when he's not working and not "producing" (lolz) sorry but that's just kinda....no. You really want SM employees as your regulars???
I would love an SM employee as a regular. That would be awesome. Fuck, I want to work for SM, or at least own them.

No problem! I'm sure other girls will chime in with their recommendations. Have you also tried using different versions of the encoder? For some 3.1 works better with their system and for others, 3.2 is better. Try both out to see which one works best. Or try the Open Broadcaster Software as an encoder, it seems to be more stable.

Why??? Lol what is the appeal of a SM employee being a regular?
I can see wanting to own SM sure... But having these guys as customers... Sounds like it could go bad way too easy. You know, one of those psycho regulars that shows up on your door step one day given the fact that they have access to all our personal information... Not having them as customers gives them no reason to abuse their "power" with having our information at their disposal.

Lol Some of the producers are extra talkative in my room during the countdowns so I've asked a few questions. Some of the producers can be assholes, but there are a few that are pretty cool.

I know Direct TV viewers can Tip models if they want to. That's why some producers have numbers next to there name.
I know the little I know by asking them questions during the countdown, some are glad to answer, some don't.

Back when these TV gold shows started they used to have the producers tip us to "encourage tipping". Once they realized that didn't work as planned they stopped tipping except for occasionally.
I remember they used to tip a bunch and if you said "thanks producer" they would tell you to pretend it wasn't them tipping. Lol such a bad concept all around. Not surprised at all that it's not working out.
Hey SM - fix your mobile issues! No one jerks to porn on TV anymore!

The only one I had problems with was 8. He cut my tvs (I didn't have the option anymore for a few days) because I got my period in the last minute of the show. So beware of that. :)
Yeah, I've started my period several times during a gold show even some producer shows. Only had one cancel it. I don't remember which one did it, but I was opt out for a few days. I did email support, asking them if its because I got my period. Also mentioned I can't control when my uterus decides to shed it's lining. And I have a menstrual cups. They opt'd me back in.

Well, there are psycho regulars who can get your information regardless of the fact they work at a camsite. Anyone can pay a P.I. to get your information or do some serious hacking. If someone really wants your information they can get it, that's just the way it is regardless if you are a cam girl or just a human being. That's life.
I view it like having a hookup, an insider view, name-dropping, being an A-lister with the VIP line access, etc. etc. All part of fame and fortune.

Well, most of the producers are very talkative with me, especially the ones who give me shows on a regular basis. I can talk with them about random weird things, sometimes I speak most with the producer in the pre-show, if is slow. I can recognize them by the time set for teasing and I know the hours they work at. For example, a certain producer comes around 6-7 AM my time and he starts his shift with me mostly. Sometimes I ask him if was slow and he tells me I am the first girl he picks, so he has no idea.
And yes, you are right, they review every show and sometimes they give recommendation lists to new producers.
That producer is my regular as a customer, our schedules don't match up anymore for his producing time, so I don't see him in that position very often. Still, I have to admit that he's the one who discovered me. I don't mind talking with him when he comes as a member, he never wants shows and usually he's very honest and caring with models.
I was never worried about him stepping at my door or contacting me outside of the website. He told me he has full access, but was never tempted, he's in Seattle, I am in Romania, he's 40 something, I am half of his age and working at SM for over 10 years teaches you a lot about your chances with a model. Been over a year since we talked first time. :)

Google Algorithm Change Will Favor ‘Mobile-Friendly’ Sites
XBIZ Miami - June 1-4
By Rhett Pardon
Apr 7, 2015 9:00 AM PST
MOUNTAIN VIEW, Calif. — Google's latest algorithm change, which will favor "mobile-friendly" websites starting April 21, might make it more difficult to find some sites in Google searches.
But Google Webmaster Trends Analyst Gary Illyes said the update will run page by page, and that there is no site-wide penalty.
If a site were to have 20 mobile-friendly pages and 10 pages Google does not deem to be mobile-friendly, the 20 will receive a boost, and the 10 won’t, Illyes noted. The mobile-friendliness, or lack of mobile-friendliness, of a web page will only affect that individual page’s ranking.
The algorithm change shows how important Google sees the mobile market. The search giant said that for the first time mobile traffic eclipsed desktop PC Internet traffic in November.
Google usability studies show that 61 percent of users will move on to another site immediately if they click on a result that is not mobile-friendly.
Site owners can test site pages here to see if Google has deemed them mobile-friendly.
Streamate! Please fix your mobile issues, this means you have no choice!

Oh I totally know lol just seems like an easy ticket to psychoness.
That last part tho... That's probably what it is for me except the total opposite, I see it as like, oh you're a SM employee bb? How impressive. *eye roll* lol The celebrity appeal thing has never made sense to me... People meet celebs and they absolutely go crazy I'm just like wow, a person. I could go on about that all day... In a different thread. :)

Well, I never went crazy about it, I got nothing for free just because I knew him outside of the tv land. Had to work my ass (literally) to impress all the producers and keep them coming/cumming. *rolf*
I'm sure he's not the first one who ever talked with a girl as a customer. They see a lot of girls daily, so I can guarantee each one of them has a crush for a model. Besides hearing all the news and what other producers think about you, he's as human as we all are. He hates feet fetish guys, so he's cool just because of that.

To support your claim that their site is a failure when viewed on a mobile device? Seriously?
This is a huge problem. I seriously cannot believe that they are not addressing it. Now you have to prove to them it's a problem with time stamped screenshots supporting your "claim"?

It's sure is but I honestly don't think they know or are aware. A regular of mine got kicked out 10 times in private today using mobile. Nothing kills boners faster than being kicked. He was DETERMINED to cum so he did. Bless his heart!

That's pretty much what I thought. I'm still learning the ins and outs but I had a feeling that was a no no. I don't really care what models are doing in their rooms, I prefer to establish my own niche and do the best I can for my customers. I agree - they aren't going to buy the cow if they are getting the milk for free. I prefer to follow the rules, even if I think I can get away with breaking them - that's just me. I get a lot of emails asking for my panties. I'm not sure how to respond to those requests in a safe way. I'll need to review the policies again.
YES! read the performer manual again. The whole thing, not just the code of conduct. I printed that damn thing before I started and read it several times. Better safe than sorry

Finally getting into my groove, building a few regulars, and my lady time decides to happen today. I do not feel experienced enough to work around it like some girls do, so I'm taking the downtime to re-read all the resources on SM and SW. I didn't know modelcentro was a thing, which is pretty interesting to learn about.

Question for international camgirls on SM re payment methods; I've been trying to hook up to Payoneer for the last 6 days and it aint working. Everytime I try I get this;
41347
Uh, wtf? SM listed this as a payment option! How can this not work?? I emailed Payoneer 3 days ago and I haven't got a single email back yet. I've been searching on these forums and I read somewhere that Payoneer is ok with SM funds going to your "local" (ie, US) bank account and credit card, but they won't do international transfers with SM funds? Is this true?
I'm getting mega frustrated right now getting no support from Payoneer and I'm tempted to switch to getting a check shipped from SM to me here in Australia. So what do you international camgirls advise? Stick it out with Payoneer and try and get my account working or bail and use checks?

Do a speedtest.net test and a pingtest.net test. If either of those scores are poor, it is your internet connection. If you score well on both tests then it is an SM issue.
doesn't speedtest.net measure ur ping too? i always see a ping box too when i test my connection thru speednet.

What username u put in there Selty? The username u use on SM to log in is the email address u registered with & same stands for Payoneer where u also log in with the email address u registered with. Is the same email address for both?
In this case there might be a 'log in conflicting error', trying to add SM with the same email address u have on Payoneer actually.
If this is the case just change email address on Payoneer account, there u have this option (where u can change password too), then u have two different email addresses for these sites & wont get 'log in conflict' anymore, i hope?!
Pls let us know if this is the case and how u sorted things out, good luck.
Sellty
04-10-2015, 05:58 AM
@AliceFun; I've changed the email address but it didn't work, so now I'm going to kill my Payoneer account and open a new one with a different email and we'll see how that goes. Thanks for letting me know about the same email conflict!
AliceFun
04-10-2015, 06:30 AM
Hey Sellty, just dont kill ur Payoneer account, i have another idea, i edit my post right away but dont close the account there
Edited: something else came to my mind, not sure how u try to add SM account as ur funding source on Payoneer (i guess u try to do this on Payoneer site) but what u actually need to do is log into ur SM account & pick Payoneer as payment option, then THERE u link to Payoneer account with email address & all (u will be required for payoneer address, password & card number), NOT the other way around.
Plus u cant just open a payoneer account on it's own, from what i know u can only open one thru a cam site (at least that's how it was some years ago).
Sellty
04-10-2015, 06:49 AM
Alice you had the right idea! The problem was I created a Payoneer account THEN tried to immediately connect it to my Streamate which for some reason froze my account :S . I then created a new Payoneer account through the Streamate website and now things are good and Payoneer support confirms I'll be approved by Monday to receive payments. Thank the lawd!

I've noticed an influx of guys taking me private and just sitting there...not saying a word. They either leave before the freeview time is up or they leave before 2 minutes. Not sure if everyone is just being an asshole or they are having problems. Either way, I'm extremely annoyed and in a very foul mood because of it. It's been a rough week for me.

Yep, I'm getting this a TON too. I was just saying in another thread that the majority of my private shows last less than 3 minutes. It's extremely annoying. I've started to not even start getting undressed until closer to 3 mins because it takes me at least 2 mins to put everything back on and get re situated!

What's the current guess as to how long it takes placement to update? I have been doing awesome this week... I KNOW my placement should be going up... I've had tons of 5 star ratings and I'm finally past the "poor" rating for online time... first time EVER lol
KatyBoleyn
04-10-2015, 09:14 PM
We've seen models go from middle of page 2 to 3rd row of page 1 in about 5 minutes (and drop almost as fast), as well as models in the lower part of page 1 hit the #2 spot after a single really good hour. I've always assumed the placement was fairly dynamic according to a hidden scoring system which updates in real time...at least since about 6 months or so.
